Bold dreams, powerful action

We make transformation possible by operating from a place of radical imagination, integrative learning, and iterative persistence. We confront behaviors and assumptions at the root of problems in our work and societies, alike. Our focus is on shifting from "solving" to building new ways. We think boldly, take individual and collective courageous actions, and move together toward collective liberation.

We work to build a better tomorrow

We acknowledge the world's challenges without denying the difficulties of our time. We invest our energy in building forward and forge new ways. Creating a better future requires focused, intentional, creative investment. We are builders, contributors, and investors in that movement.

Strength in unity, heart in solidarity

We orient ourselves through our shared aim for collective liberation and the transformative changes it requires. We honor our individual stories, needs, and offerings, while working together through difficulties. We prioritize relationships and people, moving with honesty and care to collaborate and reach our goals—for the Hive and client success, alike. 

Balancing disruption with stability

We commit to flexibility and financial responsibility as foundations of our practices and approach. Oriented through solidarity economics, we disrupt extractive capitalism with regenerative approaches. We promote long-term partnerships to create a stable foundation for crucial experimentation and learning. We celebrate bottom-up democratic design, and time ownership for all our consultants. Recognizing that systems of harm prey on isolation, we work together within our capacities to co-create abundance that defies systemic limitations. We resource our efforts sustainably and honor our choices.

Transparent and honest

We operate with transparency and authenticity rooted in our embodied truth and experiences. We conduct our business with integrity to build and maintain trust within our community. Our failures, conflicts, and challenges are as valuable to our process and insights as our successes, curiosity, imagination, and shared victories. We work with truth at the core, avoiding festering division, and serving the clarity that makes collective action possible.
